Following the last Thursday jailbreak in Niger Republic ,the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has been placed on red alert.
Hundreds of terrorists, criminals, and drug traffickers, had on last Thursday, July 11, 2024 escaped from Koutoukale prison in Niger Republic .
Presently there is palpable fear in Nigeria border towns with Niger, causing serious panic that the criminal elements , especially terrorists, would escape into Nigeria to perpetuate their evil acts.
However, the NIS has placed their men on red alert, to prevent terrorists and criminal escapees from entering into Nigeria.
In a circular signed by acting Deputy Comptroller General of NIS , MC Oki, for the Comptroller Genera of NIS, stated that,” the Comptroller of Commands, and officers of formations along Niger -Nigeria boarders ,are instructed to be on red alert with intention of ensuring that you track all suspicious movements and arrest any such prison escapees and report same to the service”.
He noted that the circular became very necessary as the suspected terrorists,and other criminals escapees,may sneak into Nigeria to join other terrorists gangs to continue to perpertrate mayhem and menace in Nigeria.
However, an NIS officer told our Correspondent that there is still palpable fears at our boarder towns with Niger . (Daily Sun: Text, Excluding Headline)
